“Veredas del Altiplano”

by Sergio Alvarado

L

a Antigua Galería de Arte proudly presents “Veredas del Altiplano”, a solo exhibition

by Guatemalan artist Sergio Alvarado.

“I was born and live in the landscape ...

Seeing the paths from afar has always attracted my attention, upon reaching them, other horizons are discovered, other dangerous corners of natural beauty, their scent of pine and flowers, the smell of wet earth, the freshness of the mist, the wind, the taste of the variety of its fruits, the song of the birds and the work of the man that 38

is reflected in the cultivated land, the beautiful transition from morning to sunset and dusk ...

I like tile and adobe houses, where it has not been influenced by modern structures, and crickets are still heard and fireflies shine.

I am also part of the landscape; I can say that I am landscape and my work is a self-portrait.

This collection is inspired by the different color changes (specially ochres) on the fields during December, waiting for the next season.

Painting gives meaning to my life and beauty to my existence ... and with that, I am aware that I am part of the continuity of Guatemalan art. My work is the result of who I am.” Sergio Alvarado, January 2020.

For this exhibit, Sergio Alvarado has worked on more than 20 oil and acrylic paintings on canvas, from the highlands of Guatemala.

We look forward to sharing with you his latest works.

The artist will attend the opening.

Guatemala: Trouble in the Highlands

limate change, unemployment, and relentless grinding poverty—these are the underpinnings of the current migration crisis. There is also the historic reality of land and economic inequality and the nationwide infestation of the narco trade which has led to near total government dysfunction.

Guatemala: Trouble In The Highlands, which began production several months ago, will spotlight what has happened in the past, what is currently occurring to fuel the U.S. border crisis and what can be done to change the course of a cruel history. The production team expects to have the film done at the end of this year.

42

Through the eyes of three generations, the Estrada family tells the stories of how migration has traumatized their Guatemalan village of CajolĂĄ.

The sharp political divide in the U.S. along partisan lines has made dialogue, and effective legislation, nearly impossible.

Following family members, grandfather Aapo, son Eduardo and granddaughter Izabella, Guatemala: Trouble In The Highlands will give viewers an up-close and personal understanding of this crisis.

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, in 2018 the influx of undocumented immigrants into the United States reached a 10-year high of more than 115,000 and had surpassed that number in early 2019. The Pew Research Center reports that Guatemalans represent the secondlargest group of undocumented Latino immigrants (after El Salvador) trying to enter the U.S. The world watched as streams of people walked, rode, and took perilous train rides across hundreds of miles to reach the U.S. border. Where once the majority of these migrants were young males seeking work, the latest influx includes families and children, many of whom seek asylum.

The sharp political divide in the U.S. along partisan lines has made dialogue, and effective

legislation, nearly impossible. Public opinion is equally divided, either sympathetic towards those seeking asylum or demonizing the migrants as thieves, drug dealers and rapists. The migrants’ reasons for fleeing Guatemala are as diverse as the geography of the Guatemalan Highlands. Those planning to leave know it is dangerous to make the trip, but they are desperate.

Initial interviews have been recorded both in the U.S. and Guatemala and additional interviews are lined up. The script is in the draft stage and planning is underway for the next production trip to Guatemala.

Producer: Mark Walker was a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala. With an MA in Latin American Studies from the University of Texas in Austin, he spent over forty years with groups helping in developing countries. His book, “Different Latitudes: My Life in the Peace Corps and Beyond” was recognized by the Arizona Literary Association literary contest for non-fiction. Over twenty of his articles have been published in literary magazines and one essay, “Hugs not Walls: Returning the Children,” was a winner in the Arizona Authors Association 2019 Literary Contest.

Director/Cinematographer: Hal Rifken has worked for numerous cable and broadcast networks domestically and abroad. His Peace Corps experience in Bolivia has led him to projects that explore inter-cultural issues, particularly as they relate to Latin America. He just completed a documentary on the Shanghai Quartet, a 5-year project that followed the string quartet to concerts and festivals around the States, Asia, Europe and Latin America (“Behind The Strings” is scheduled to premiere winter, 2020).

production for four years, was honored for its social and humanitarian efforts.

Editor: Tracy Cring is an award-winning editor with more than thirty feature films. The films she’s worked on have been widely distributed, won multiple awards, and been appreciated by audiences across the globe. NBC Nightly News featured her work for Danseur. Recently “No History of Violence,” which she edited throughout

Consultant: Alana DeJoseph’s latest feature documentary production is the institutional history of the Peace Corps, “A Towering Task.” Alana was associate producer of the PBS documentaries “The Greatest Good” (about the U.S. Forest Service) and “Green Fire” (about conservationist Aldo Leopold) with screenings at 29 film festivals from Colorado to India and New Zealand.

value, but great texture and flavor along the way.

Tortillas are easy to make using a modern special tool, yet traditionally they are works of art in expert hands that pat a ball of dough between their palms with such precision until it reaches just the right size and thickness.

As the “bread� of the southern region of North America (Mexico, Guatemala, and other Central American countries), it is a unifying force that feeds millions providing not only high nutritional

ues to gain ground because of ease and convenience.

The texture and satiety of fresh versus processed corn tortillas is significant. Freshly made tortillas are doughier and because they are thicker, they are very filling and even economical.

The tortilla’s versatility transcends recipes and cooking styles, lending itself not only as a meal complement, but as a base for building a delicious dish and as a conduit for thickening soups and stews, and as a tasty crunch for casual foods. Whether you enjoy a scrumptious taco bursting with all kinds of delicious toppings, or a flauta filled with savory stuffing smeared with spicy sauce, you are always in for a treat with this special food that is so common yet so special to many.

For Guatemalans, the tortilla is an important flavor that brings memories of cozy times with friends, family, and home. Eaten during the three main meals of the day, tortillas are sold in the streets, at tortillerias (small family tortilla shops), or at tiendas (small retail shops). Like bread, these tortillas are made minutes before they are sold making them a scrumptious pairing for any meal.

And speaking of tortillas, here is one of my favorite recipes which I relish from childhood.

It is easy, delicious, and perfect for a couple or a group of friends for Valentine’s Day.

ÂĄBuen provecho!
